Livy LOVES Makeup

 

Livy loves to put on “pink” makeup.  She hasn’t learned that the eye shadow brush should not be used on her cheek, so much to teach her!

Easter

 

The Girls before Church.  I finally got a pic of Livy looking at the camera!!

 

We had the kids hunt eggs in shifts.  The “younger” kids went first.

Averi and Tessa

  Ada and Oscar                                       The '"older” kids

All 12 kids after the Hunt!

Stella and Madison have become such good friends and LOVE hanging out together.

We had a great Easter.  We spent Easter at my parents.  We went down after church for lunch and it was DELICIOUS as always!  The Swenson Family joined us this year.  They have 4 kids, but their kids are very calm compared to the rest of ours!  The weather was perfect, there were threats of rain, but it held off.  Good food, friends, and family made for a GREAT Easter. 

Just a side note:  I asked Livy what they talked about in nursery at church and she told me, “A biiiiig rock”.  I asked her if she was talking about the one that was placed in front of Jesus’ tomb, and she said, “Yes, Jesus”.  I was thrilled when she said that.  Usually all she talks about is bubbles and snacks!  I am happy that something is sinking in :)

Princesses on Ice

 

Liv needed a little lip gloss before the show!

Me and my Girls headed out to Princesses on Ice

We went with Leslie and Kennedy.  Madison gave me a list of all the food she wanted as I headed to the concession stand, this girl definitely enjoys her food!

Livy sat on my lap the entire time and anytime I would sing the songs she would turn around and say, “Shhhhh, be quiet momma”.  Apparently she, like most people, doesn’t appreciate by singing voice. :)

It turned out to be a fun night.  I think this is Madison’s third time going to this show, but I think this time she was more impressed with the Ice Skating than the Princesses.  Livy hadn’t had a nap and was a little tired, but still enjoyed it.  She said her favorite part was when the dragon from Sleeping Beauty came out and spit fire all over the ice rink.  After it happened, she just kept saying, “do it again momma, do it again”.  I am grateful that I am able to take my girls to fun things like this and give them fun memories.

April Stuff

Livy loves My Little Pony or in her words Hony Hony.  I love to hear her little imagination in action when she plays with her toys.

Livy thought her skin needed a little moisturizing…….to be exact half a bottle of my face moisturizer!

Yes, this was an after school snack…….Donuts and Cheese dip :)  This is Olivia’s extra CRANKY time of the day b/c she either needs a nap or took a very short one in the car and I will do just about anything to stop the WHINING!(Also a little sneak peek of my chairs I recovered recently.  I will post pics later after I paint them…….which could mean months)

Reading books before bedtime.

I can not believe it is the middle of April already!!  Which means it is almost May, which means that this semester is almost over, which means 3 months of no CLASSES for ME!  The last couple of weeks of the semester are always the worst.  This is when all the papers and projects I have procrastinated on must be done(4 of them) in the next couple of weeks.  This is the time when this happens:

and add 2 more loads that were in the washer/dryer!  I am looking forward to a couple of months of a little less stress and a little less laundry piled up!

I HEART Kenny!!

 

Marji, Brandi, Me, and Andrea

Billy Currington was one of the opening acts.  This is my second time seeing him and he is such a great performer!!  LOVE “Turnip Greens” Ahhhh, Kenny……………… Uncle Kracker was one of the openings too and then he came out and sang “When the Sun Goes Down” and a few more songs with Kenny.

I was sooooo excite to go to this concert!  I haven’t seen Kenny since college, right before he got HUGE!  We had wonderful seats, we couldn’t believe how good they were.  He is my Favorite music artist and I LOVE all his songs!  The concert was AMAZING!!  He doesn’t need special effects or props to make a great show.   He gets so into his songs and you can tell he loves what he does.    My all time favorite song of his is “Anything but Mine” and I was THRILLED when he sang it!

 

March Outings

 

 

We went down to Garvin Gardens in Hot Springs a couple of weeks ago.  It was a beautiful days and the kids really enjoyed it.  I think the only times I have been there is at Christmas time, so it was nice to see all the beautiful flowers. 

The second half of the pics are from Downtown Little Rock.  We went and saw the Ducks at the Peabody one morning.  The kids LOVED it.  I can’t believe i have never taken them before.  We ate lunch down at the River Market and then proceeded to the Clinton Library to see The Cat in the Hat.  It was a fun but very hectic day! There were 17 kids and 7 adults!! CRAZY!!!
